HOW TO NAVIGATE YOUR WAY AROUND THE COMPLEX OF CHOICE:
While you could be doing better things with you life, you decided to indulge yourself with some literature. This story is about the nature of choice, a story where you are in control. To properly enjoy this story, you must know a few things about it. Below are the basics to story navigation:

- When presented with options at the bottom of a page, obey the instructions and navigate to the page where that option exists. (Click the links and stuff.)

- When asked to begin again, by all means, BEGIN AGAIN.
Follow these guidelines, and you will have no trouble venturing through the world of choice. Now, go on,
